Specification of Letters ratent.

Patented Dec. 7, 1909.

Application filed December 22, 1908. Serial No. 468,769.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS MfinY, merchant, a citizen of the SwissConfederation, and resident. of- Gotthardstrasse. 55, Zurich v II,Switzerland, have invented nevi and useful Improvements in Dish-WashingMachines, of which the following is a specification.

, My invention relates to improvements in lifts for dish washingmachines, in which a casket is suspended on a lever to be moved 'up anddown as well as sideward by the operator. I I

The object of my improvements are firstly to provide a device by meansof which thedishes to be cleaned may be moved in any' direction throughthe water without endangering the dishes and secondly to pro v1de meansfor raising the casket out of the- Near the back wall of the hot' watertank a, a vertical post I) of circular cross section is rotatablymounted. The lower end of the post b rests on a bearin c, the 'upperpart of the post is held by a s eeve d, fixed to the back wall of thetank a. The post I) is slotted and is providedwith a' pin-e, on which atwo armed lever f is movably mounted. The hind arm of lever f is muchshorter than the front arm. A .spring Z is fixed atone end to the hindend of lever f and with the other end to an eye 4) fixed on the post I)'by ,means of a turn-buckle 2 whereby the tension of. the spring may beadjusted. The spring is provided with a well-known adjusting device .2.Spring Z tends to keepythe lever f in its horizontal position. Thefrontend of lever f is pro- ,Vided with ahandle g, .and with a shortpiece of chain .7), on which another handle is ed. On the lever a casketla is suspended by means of a flexible band, chain or the drawings.

I like. To the bottom of the casket a short rail m is fixed, as may beseen from Fig 3 adapted to engage a cross rail n of the tank a insuch amanner, that the casket is automatically put into. an inclined positionwhen raised by the leverf toallow the waterto draw-off. The tank a maybe provided'with partition walls preferably set in such a manner thatone and the same casket may be brought into any of the compart' ments.The tank may be heated by gas, coal etc. I wish to be understood that Ido not confine my invention to the particular mode of heating thetankshown in the To clean the dishes and the like the same are'placed in thecasket. The tank is filled rail on the casket engages the cross rail bygoing upward and is kept down while the other end of the casket stillgoes up a certain distance. The casket may then be brought on a slantinboard 9 fixed on the tank and emptied. make the hook on which the casketis fixed to swivel.

Having particularly described and ascertained my invention I claim:

1. A: dish washing. machine comprising in combination, a tank, a postrotatably mounted adjacent said tank, a lever ivot ally connected tosaid post, one end 0 said lever being provided with a handle, a springengaging theothergend of the lever, and a container for dishes suspendedon t is of advantage to said lever onthe same arm whereon the handle is,provided.

2. 'A dlSh washing machine comprising in combination, a tank, a postrotatably .mounted adjacent said tank, a lever pivotally connected tosaidpost, said lever being In testimonty whereof I afi'ix my signature1n presence 0 two witnesses.
